Rewriting the Script: Parenting Differently Than You Were Parented
2025-11-22 10:00 - 11:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
ONLINE EVENT!
Parenting differently than you were raised isn’t easy. This workshop helps you heal, understand your triggers, and rewrite your story.

Hosted by Rachael Schweitzer, MA, LMFT. If you’re trying to be a good parent but never had a clear example of what that looks like, this workshop is for you.
Maybe you feel like you’re making it up as you go, trying to parent differently than how you were raised—but still find yourself snapping, shutting down, or feeling ashamed of your reactions. You might worry you’re repeating patterns from your own childhood, even the ones you promised you’d never repeat.
You’re not alone, and you’re not broken.
Most parenting advice assumes you had a “good enough” childhood with safety, emotional regulation, and unconditional love. But if you grew up feeling like your needs were “too much,” your feelings were inconvenient, or love was conditional, parenting can activate your whole nervous system, not just your to-do list. Old scripts run in the background until you learn to see them.
This class is designed to help you:

Recognize unconscious patterns from your past
Understand why certain behaviors in your child feel so triggering
Use nervous system–friendly tools to respond instead of react
Build a new parenting blueprint rooted in safety, connection, and emotional attunement

You don’t need a perfect childhood to be a grounded, present parent. You need support, language for what’s happening inside you, and tools that honor your lived experience.
Join us to see your patterns clearly—not to blame yourself, but to finally change the script.
